About This Blog

Twenty Three & Counting is my hopeful attempt at intentional living, finding focus, learning to be present, and recording happiness when it strikes. This is a place for hopes, dreams, and goals to find wings. Or maybe I just like to write pretty things.

Now living in Oregon, far away from my familiar, with my new husband living a brand new life...I can only imagine what could come of this little corner of the internet.
